I don't know why they aren't more popular. I assume something to do with glass clarity, but I really like mine.

    I picked up the Vortex DB HD 8x32 and the Crossfire HD 10x42 this year. I much prefer the 8x32 and, of course, they're so much smaller and lighter.

    The clarity of the DB HD are noticeably better than the Crossfire HD, I thought they were supposed to be the same clarity-wise, just the DB are lighter.

    I'm sure I'm end up buying a pair later. Buddy said he got his on sale from Optics Planet for something like $180.

    I think you can find a better deal, if you search for it. I liked OP till they started taking money and not delivering in a timely manner.
    The final straw (for me) was them charging my card for an in stock item. Then having the balls, or ovaries as it may be to email me.
    Informing me the in stock item has an 8-12 week expected time of delivery.
    Told them cancel the order, which a few back n forth emails insisted they couldn't So i called my cc co and they terminated the payment, based on emails i sent them.

    Like midway, they're on my No Buy list.

    Those are vastly better, Irving, and better for your eyes. Use them for a while and you'll never use the auto focus again. With practice you'll find that the 10x42 delivers more from details of antler points, movement at distance or birds in the forest. Use them constantly as you stalk through the woods and you'll be amazed at how much more you can see. As with any optics buy the best you can afford.

    I had a T100 for 20 years. They are great trucks. I'd still have it if some jack wagon didn't smash into me.
